    White umbrellas make people look dead, not good. Use a large silver reflector and correct wrinkles and skin blemishes in Photoshop. Normal healthy skin does have a certain amount of moisture content, so some small degree of sheen is normal and healthy looking. Matte flat looking skin and eyes are not normal.

    Contrary to video (1:08), a black background on a translucent white umbrella does not actually reflect any additional lighting back onto the subject. Instead, the black backing simply absorbs any light which would normally pass through the white translucent material. If you truly want to gain that light intensity back, your umbrella must have an interior which is both more reflective and less translucent – such as an umbrella with a non-translucent white plastic or rubber interior.
